Problems solved by technology

This creates a problem: the smell of substances such as cigarettes lingering in the vehicle space
[0009] In particular, electrostatic atomizers for vehicles installed independently of and connectable to vehicle air conditioning equipment are not capable of diluting ozone with airflow for air conditioning purposes
Therefore, the smell of ozone makes people near the exit feel uncomfortable

Embodiment Construction

[0022] now refer to Figure 1-3 An embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0023] The electrostatic atomizer 3 for vehicles is installed inside a vehicle 1 (such as a car or the like). Electrostatic atomizer 3 is provided in vehicle 1 independently of a vehicle air conditioner (not shown) provided in vehicle 1 . exist figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the electrostatic atomizer 3 is installed in the roof 1 a of the vehicle 1 .

[0024] Such as figure 2 As shown, the electrostatic atomizer 3 includes: a discharge electrode 4 working with a discharge current, a high voltage application unit 6 for applying a high voltage to the discharge electrode 4, a water supply unit 5 for supplying water to the discharge electrode 4, an outlet 7 ( see figure 1 ) - charged water particles and ozone generated by electrostatic atomization during the application of high voltage to the discharge electrode 4 are supplied into the vehicle space through the outlet, the distanc...

Abstract

An electrostatic atomizer (3) includes a discharge electrode (4); a high-voltage applying unit (6) for applying a high voltage to the discharge electrode (4); a water supply unit (5) for supplying water to the discharge electrode (4); an outlet (7) through which charged water particles and ozone generated by electrostatic atomization during application of the high voltage to the discharge electrode (4) are fed into a vehicle room; a distance measuring unit (8) for measuring the distance between the outlet (7) and a human body; and a control unit (9) for controlling the high-voltage applying unit (6) and the water supply unit (5) to thereby control a discharge current of the discharge electrode (4). The control unit (9) changes the discharge current in response to a detection signal of the distance measuring unit (8) to make the discharge current supplied when the human body exits closer to the outlet (7) smaller than when the human body exits far away from the outlet (7).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electrostatic atomizer arranged in a vehicle. Background technique [0002] Inside a vehicle (such as a car, etc.), the vehicle space becomes a closed space. This creates a problem: the smell of substances such as cigarettes stays in the vehicle space. In view of this, various filter-type air purification devices are provided. However, the air cleaning apparatus cannot remove odor components adhering to wall surfaces or seats in the vehicle space. [0003] Attention has thus been drawn to electrostatic atomizers that use electrostatic atomization of water to produce nano-sized charged water particles (or nano-sized mist). The charged water particles generated in the electrostatic atomizer contain free radicals such as superoxide radicals or hydroxyl radicals. Thus, the charged water particles are effective in removing odor components, destroying viruses and fungi, and inactivating allergenic substances. Therefore, when ...
